Jim Smith stands behind a new recliner in the showroom of the temporary Smithâs Furniture Store next to Calico Creek in Mill Hall. The store, stocked with the same furniture Smithâs is known for, opens for business again at 9 a.m. Monday.
MILL HALL There’s just something about that name… and that location.
So says Jim Smith about the decision he and his brother Jeff have made to rebuild Smith’s Furniture Store on the same Dunnstown site where their father first built the landmark store more than 70 years ago.

The former Smith Furniture store in Dunnstown was reduced to a pile of rubble Thursday by a crew from Steinbacher Enterprises. The roof on the oldest furniture store in Clinton County imploded into the store from the weight of two feet of snow that covered the area three weeks ago. Jim Smith, who owns the store with his brother, Jeff, said they are in the process of opening a new store in the former Eagle Valley Bargains store at 2969 Eagle Valley Road in Mill Hall. He said they are working diligently and hope to open the store at the new location soon. Meanwhile, orders are being taken and customers who can call 570-748-5587 or go online at https://smith-furn.com/, Jim said.
